does chris christie want mitt romney to win? this is something i've been wondering about for a couple days. does george w. bush want mitt romney to win? it's not so clear. and we do know that most of the people who have encountered this guy, a lot of them have come away just not liking him. and you just have to wonder why they're doing this. >> on the other hand, you have got bill clinton who has been so terribly effective for president obama, and no one predicted the storm was going to take that much time away from the president, but this has been a real asset for the president. >> it has, absolutely. >> so have we ever seen a former president work so hard for someone to get re-elected? >> no. i don't recall it. it's pretty astonishing and when you think of their history, which isn't all milk and honey, it makes it all the more interesting. you know, they had rough times in 2008 when obama was running against hillary clinton, and they both said some pretty tough things about each other, but they know that they need each other a

and chris christie gave it to them. now, a part of it is that chris christie loves the camera, right? he is the giuliani of this moment. he's doing press conferences. he's physically out there not sleeping, very present. but the key on that one is this is the keynote speaker of the republican national convention. it's not just any governor. he's one of the most known republicans in the country. he's the guy that was supposed to make the case for romney and forgot to mention him. and when he took that question, he could easily have said, look, you know, i think governor romney's got other things to do. i'm pleased -- instead, you listen to that clip. it went on and on and on and it built toward a crescendo i think the president is doing a great job for new jersey. >> and chris christie also i would say not only the commencement speaker but the great hope of republicans, ann coulter wanted him and rupert murdoch wanted him back in the race and he tweeted christie has to come out hard for obama -- >> for romney. >> i'm sor

something that might be a bit off-putting to governor christie on a day like today. we'll have more on the storm and the election in this hour but let's get to richard lui who is in battery park where the waters of new york harbor bashed into vulnerable flood zones. richard, 24 hours since the storm surge began there. how do thiges longs look right ? >> reporter: 24 hours ago looked a lot like this, a lot of white caps, stormy movement of the water. of course, the water at that point 24 hours ago was just starting to rise. since then in that 24 hours the city has been crippled. we're talking about $20 billion in infrastructure damage, $10 billion to $30 billion in lost business reeceipts. if those numbers are right by some estimates, that would be the worst disaster in u.s. history. we're also looking at a subway system, the best in the world some say, that currently is not working, not functional, and won't be for several days. it could be more than that. electricity south of 39th street gone for the most part. overnight and now today in some parts of where i'm stan

i heard christie this morning, you're going to hear him again. i don't think he's going to be for cutting out of fema, and i don't know if chris christie is someone thought of as a fiscal liberal. >> no, not at all. what do you make of all of these polls, chuck, we've been talking about the polls all over the place. you've got, of course, minnesota, you've got bill clinton going to minnesota. that's a surprise. you've got karl rove and the president talking about spending money in pennsylvania. you've got suddenly the map seems to be expanding a little bit on what president and romney supporters are doing. >> i think strategically, if i go back six months ago, it was a strategic mistake the romney campaign made by not trying to expand the map sooner. they're trying to rush in and do some things now, but if they could have thinned out the president's money for him to spend money in 12 states, they never did, never did this, i never understood that reasoning. they look at the polls and see, hey, if the national polls are at a point in one direction
